In English: this camera has a sensor roughly the same size as a Red One, with about the same sensor resolution, shoots at 24 fps, shoots 12MP stills, and can be had with a lens for about $1300 when it ships. Stills mode shoots 4288x2848, movie mode is 1280x720. Play stills or video back out via HDMI. NICE.

I declare thee Doodle Cam Extraordinaire.

I'd been planning on getting a nice DSLR anyway, in the DX format (since that is about the same size as my Red One's sensor), and I'd been looking at the very well reviewed D300, but wincing a bit at the price (about $1600 for the body alone, no lenses).

I wanted to get one to get more hands on experience with shooting in RAW mode, and perhaps doodle with some with the Nikon mount on my Red One camera - perhaps try out some Nikon primes and see how they work, feel, and look.

I've been debating taking a photo/video safari to the Grand Canyon - I was looking at this to lug all gear: Petrol Bags PCBP-2N, but a D90 with the GPS recorder for a Recon Day, including shooting some stills and video, would allow me to shoot some samples with a decent idea of what lenses to bring back with the heavy gear later. (update - Gibby recommended this Tamrac 5258))

There's been tons of conversation about this online, here's a few good resources:

Stu Maschwitz at the ever-awesome ProLost has posted thrice on the subject, and drat it, he just wrote the summary kind of article I was getting ready to do next with most of what I was fixin' to say.

Your DSLR or, in fact, any camera that has an HDMI port, can be transformed into an HD live streaming device, affordably, and with wireless capabilities, thanks to Brooklyn-based technology company Livestream.
